1-2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (as needed for consistency)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: Stevia or monk fruit sweetener to taste
Instructions
For the Donuts:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with a little coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, oat flour, True Nutrition Chai Latte Pea Protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Vanilla Cinnamon Frosting:
Prepare the Frosting: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, True Nutrition Vanilla Pea Protein powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Add almond milk a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Sweeten (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter frosting, add a few drops of Stevia or a pinch of monk fruit sweetener to taste.
Frost the Donuts: Once the donuts are completely cooled, spread a generous layer of the vanilla cinnamon frosting on top of each one.
